Who makes it?

Founded in 2008 in the rugged heart of Irpinia, Southern Italy, Nativ Srl is the brainchild of powerhouse duo Dr. Mario Ercolino, a seasoned oenologist, and Dr. Roberta Pirone, a brilliant food scientist. Essentially, they are the wine world’s version of superheroes—if superheroes spent their time obsessing over indigenous grapes instead of fighting crime. Choosing the name "Nativ" to showcase their fierce dedication to local terroir, the winery works hand-in-hand with local growers alongside their own estate vineyards to ensure top-tier grape quality. Today, this Campania winery is celebrated for crafting benchmark expressions of iconic Southern Italian wines, including Fiano di Avellino, Greco di Tufo, Aglianico, Taurasi, and, of course, Falanghina.

How is it made?

To craft the Nativ Velluto Bianco Campania Falanghina DOC, the team treats 100% Falanghina grapes like absolute royalty. Grown in medium-textured, clay-calcareous soils using a counter-espalier system with Guyot pruning, these vines soak up the Southern Italian sun until harvest time in early October. Once picked, the whole bunches undergo a gentle soft pressing and cold static clarification, followed by temperature-controlled fermentation with selected yeasts. While most white wines are rushed straight to the bottle, this Campania Falanghina takes the scenic route, lounging for a luxurious 18 months in 2.25-hectoliter first-passage French oak barriques to build serious depth and character.

What does it taste like?

Pouring a radiant straw yellow, Nativ Velluto Bianco greets the nose with an intense, tropical bouquet of exotic fruit and juicy white peach—basically, summer bottled up for your convenience. On the palate, this 13% ABV Italian white wine delivers a crisp, floral freshness backed by impressive structure and a velvety smoothness earned from its time in French oak. Served chilled at 10°C, this versatile Falanghina DOC is a dream at the dinner table, pairing effortlessly with crowd-pleasing appetizers, fresh seafood, white meats, and your favorite cheese board.
